"Yeah, go find the boss! The boss is way stronger than us, he'll definitely take down this big green freak!!" Frightwig nodded frantically, the three of them clearly having lost all will to fight!
They were constantly thinking about how to escape Diamondhead's attacks and desperately wanted their boss to come bail them out.
However...
Diamondhead took the initiative and spoke up, his voice carrying a playful edge, "Wait, did you just say there's still a boss who hasn't shown up yet?"
The three villains tensed, staring at Diamondhead warily, not daring to speak carelessly.
"If you're not talking, I'll take that as a yes. Your boss is that clown named Zombozo, right?"
Diamondhead pressed.
This time, Thumbskull found a bit of courage and replied weakly, "Y-yeah, our boss is Lord Zombozo. His strength is incredible, you're no match for him!"
When it came to their boss, his confidence seemed to return slightly.
Frightwig and Acid Breath looked at him speechlessly. You idiot, if you say that, this big guy definitely won't let us fetch the boss easily! What kind of moronic move is that?
"Alright then. One of you three, go call your boss over here."
Diamondhead's words left everyone else stunned.
This...
What the hell did that even mean?!
Knowing the enemy was supposedly very strong, he was willing to let them summon that enemy?
For a moment, Acid Breath and the others couldn't understand Diamondhead's logic at all.
"First," Diamondhead began, his voice resonating with authority in the silent marketplace, "it's really troublesome and a waste of time for me to hunt you down one by one. I want to take care of all of you together."
"Second," he continued, "I'm really not happy with that clown. I want to beat him up, so please invite him over to get his ass kicked."
Each majestic word echoed through the empty market, filled with the overwhelming confidence of a warrior!!
"Well... then I'm going to find the boss?" Thumbskull looked carefully at Diamondhead, practically asking for permission.
"Go ahead. And by the way, don't call me 'big guy' or 'green diamond' or whatever. I'm Diamondhead!"
Diamondhead nodded, then emphasized with a serious expression.
Diamondhead!!
The name rang heavily in the ears of the three villains. Standing there from a distance, Diamondhead truly resembled a god of war, radiating terrifying pressure!
Thumbskull immediately bolted toward the circus, practically doing a 100-meter sprint!
After running to the circus tent, he didn't stop, leaping directly onto the stage and appearing right in front of Zombozo, who was in the middle of performing a terrible joke.
"Why did you suddenly show up?? Don't you know I'm in the middle of enjoying my meal?!"
Seeing Thumbskull suddenly standing before him, Zombozo's expression darkened. A pair of horrifying eyes locked onto the strongman!
Being stared at like that, Thumbskull felt like his body was being torn apart!!
The boss... as expected of the boss. He'll definitely be able to defeat that guy called Diamondhead!
"Y-yes, it's like this, Boss, let me tell you..." Thumbskull lowered his posture slightly and briefly explained everything about Diamondhead and Ben.
Zombozo's expression changed rapidly. Finally, he shot Thumbskull a vicious glare. "Three worthless pieces of trash! You can't even handle this little problem, you need me to step in personally?!"
Thumbskull shrank back, not daring to refute, looking utterly submissive.
"Everyone in the audience!" Zombozo bypassed Thumbskull, his face stretching into a penetrating smile. "I need to step away for just a moment. Don't worry, I'll be back in five minutes. Everyone can wait for my wonderful performance with peace of mind."
That Diamondhead guy... I can beat this unknown freak in five minutes!
The audience in the auditorium had completely lost their independent will. No matter what Zombozo said, people applauded, kept smiling with vacant expressions.
"Let's go!"
Zombozo turned around, his expression turning cold, his face becoming ghost-like and extremely vicious. "I want that guy called Diamondhead to die without even a grave to bury him in!!"
He and Thumbskull quickly walked out of the circus tent. Before they even reached Diamondhead, they could hear the latter's complaints from a long distance away.
"Did your boss named Zombozo get scared when he heard my name? Is he too afraid to come? Why isn't he here yet? Did he not eat enough to walk?"
Damn. That. Bastard.
Zombozo's footsteps stopped abruptly. His expression was so angry he could barely contain himself. He gasped for several breaths before barely holding his composure and continuing to walk with Thumbskull.
Too damn arrogant!!
I'm going to tear this bastard apart!!
Involuntarily, he quickened his pace, rushing to the battlefield with Thumbskull!
When he finally saw Diamondhead's appearance, Zombozo's anger subsided somewhat, and his expression became oddly obsessed. "This is a perfect body. Not bad at all. It can be used as an ornament in my house. I'll spare you from death, but I'll break your limbs."
"Whoa, that's so scary!!" Seeing the clown, Ben subconsciously shrank his neck and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Zombozo.
Diamondhead was having none of it and immediately fired back, "Ugly freak, use me as an ornament in your home? Spare me from death? Looking at you makes me feel like I'd be disgusted to death!"
In an instant, the smile vanished completely from Zombozo's face, and his chubby body swelled even larger.
No one had ever dared to be so disrespectful to him!
How dare this creature mock him like that!
Nobody!!
"He totally pissed off the boss..."
Thumbskull, Acid Breath, and Frightwig stayed off to the side, watching the two face each other. Their hearts grew even colder, fearing Diamondhead's death.
If Diamondhead gets killed by the Boss, then the Boss, who won't even be tired, will definitely come after us next.
That God of War better be strong! Hold on for at least three rounds!
"Die!!"
Zombozo kicked off his feet, and a large crack suddenly appeared in the ground that didn't match the size of his soles. His body seemed like a balloon as it flew toward Diamondhead's body. Performing what looked like karate, his palms slashed toward Diamondhead's torso!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The buildings his palms swept across developed massive cracks, unable to withstand the force!
"Oh? His strength is actually close to the SixSix level and Kraab? Not as fragile as I thought." Diamondhead's expression showed slight surprise.
"Afraid? Are you?!"
Zombozo noticed the change in Diamondhead's expression and felt even more proud!
Until,
CLANG!!
His pair of knife-like palms struck severely at what should have been Diamondhead's fatal weak points, creating a deafening metallic sound.
In his mind:
Diamondhead's body split apart.
In reality:
Diamondhead didn't even wrinkle his brow. His body only trembled slightly for a few seconds.
"AHHHHH!!!"
Zombozo's face twisted completely. He couldn't control his facial expression at all! His palms swelled up instantly, losing all sensation. He began making heart-piercing screams, louder even than Thumbskull's earlier cries!!
Thud!
Holding his swollen hands, he rolled back and forth on the ground, looking as pitiful as a shrimp!!
"Beautiful! That green idiot got beaten and screamed!!"
"Hahaha, still acting arrogant now?!"
In their minds, the Boss was an invincible existence. Even seeing Zombozo screaming in agony, they smiled and called out mockingly.
When they finally processed what was happening...
All their faces changed dramatically.
Shit!!!
Why is the Boss the one on the ground?!
This script is all wrong...
Zombozo's disguise was very realistic.
But the real clown... was him.
